Stretching Workshop

1-day workshop - £80

Muscles will adapt to continual stresses put upon them. If, perhaps due to faulty posture and/or repetitive contraction, muscles shorten and adapt, their function, strength and flexibility will be affected. Stretching offers an effective way of re-establishing muscle length. If the client performs home based stretching activities after their treatment with you, they can reinforce the treatment, encouraging more lasting and beneficial results.

During the day you will look at:

· Why stretch? - The Science of stretch

· Muscles that are prone to tightness and those prone to weakness/lengthening.

· Posture - Recapping posture dysfunction and the muscles involved.

· Passive and Active Stretching

· Upper body and lower body applications

· Client self stretches - home based exercises

A series of practical workshops designed for the massage practitioners who want to expand their range of skills into more remedial, specific work.

Learn how to release specific areas of tension, target and release areas of adhered tissue and increase muscle length, subsequently helping joint movement.

You will look at working at a deeper level, focussing on specific treatment problems.

All workshops include a certificate of attendance, comprehensive notes with photos/diagrams and refreshments.

Places are limited as numbers are intentionally kept low to ensure more individual attention.
